Egyptian

Horus

A falcon over two kingdoms, and a child who had to survive to claim them.

8 chapters on the figure behind the card, researched in the Egyptian mythology sources and reviewed before publication. See Horus’s card →

1. The Falcon on the Horizon A bird at the top of the sky, older than most of the temples.
2. Two Horuses The sources give more than one. Egyptology does not tidy them up.
3. The Child at Chemmis An heir raised in a marsh, bitten by everything that lives there.
4. Eighty Years Before the Tribunal The succession argued as a court case, and it takes eighty years.
5. The Eye He loses an eye. What matters is what is done with it afterwards.
6. The Living Horus The myth ends where Egyptian kingship starts, and stays there.
7. The Winged Disk of Behdet A temple wall carries a campaign, fought by a sun with wings.
8. The Four Who Stood in the Jars Four small gods with one job, and it lasted forever.
